Pest Identification: Stinging Insects in Tennessee

Whether you’re gardening, hosting a backyard barbecue, or simply enjoying the weather on your patio, the last thing you want to deal with is a stinging insect. From painful, swelling stings to unsettling buzzing sounds, your outdoor areas can quickly become uncomfortable when these aerial attackers are around.
